Ghosts Of Amelia & Other Tales
by Maggie Carter-de Vries
Paperback

Residents and visitors alike are charmed by the beauty and serene attractions of our little island of Amelia. The wide sandy beaches, white capped waves rolling and lapping upon the shores lure us to swim, surf, hunt sea shells and sharks teeth, build sand castles and lather on suntan lotion as we bronze away the lazy days of summer at the beach or stroll historic Centre Street, while licking feverishly at ice creams melting and dripping down our hands onto the sidewalks.
While least known among this tranquility drift the restless spirits of those once walked on these streets, lived in these beautiful old homes in an era of refined gentility, and died too soon or in ways unnatural. Whether you are a believer or not, it my intention to pass these stories on to you as told to me, not as a historical exercise but as one does in passing on legends.
Therefore, sit back, relax and enjoy maybe you too will become a believer in
the end.
